API for clipboard-oriented copy/paste services that are customizable for metamodel-specific semantics. For invocation of the copy/paste functionality, see {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.ClipboardUtil}.

Package Specification

The primary mechanism for customization of a meta-model's copy/paste requirements is the {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.IClipboardSupport} interface. Where this interface is not sufficient to control copy/paste behaviour, the specialization of the following classes is permitted to define custom copy and paste operations:

@see org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.ClipboardUtil#copyElementsToString @see org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.ClipboardUtil#pasteElementsFromString @see org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.ClipboardUtil#createClipboardSupport
